I use Oanda every day and they are very good for execution and the ability to choose your own lot size. Their charting however is not very flexible. Due to the regulation and new capital requirements for FX brokers I have seen that the former big brokers now get better and more customer friendly, as they have more informed traders to serve. Thus, it is not a bad idea to start a Micro account at FXCM and then progress to a standard account. Or, if you like the Metatrader platform, I would go to FXDD. It always depends how you trade, long-term, daytrade, etc. If you have 2500 USD minimum account size available, I would start out at FXDD PLUS use a trading advice/education service such as Forexconfidential.com ( private traders, even part-time ) or http://www.fx-knight.com ( 149 USD monthly ) with their inbuilt Acuity workstation, which allows you to see Volume via eSignal etc. ( I am not affiliated with any reco. ). Take your due diligence. :missy:

I am currently searching for a broker where I can trade volume specifically, but without having this bundle "broker/platform/datafeed " all-in-one solution as with Tradestation..... So where do you execute your trades ? Thanks for any suggestion. Michael :pc guru:
